For the vacant "regular" WBA heavyweight title, no less. HBO doesn't know what it's missing having gotten out of boxing.


I'm not a Baby Miller fan, although admittedly it may turn out he'll be up there in the upper echelon before too long. But man... what a useless fight...... for a useless title.

Why does it seem like Oquendo has been fighting forever and every time he fights it’s for some worthless title?

...because he has and that is his level.

Fair play to Miller keeping busy. what baffles me is fighting so regularly , how does the fat bastard manage to put on so much weight?

[Spicoli]

Nothing but sanctioned elder abuse. If this doesn't say useless half arse title warmers I don't know what does. Done with Miller he's a joke.

Yes Oquendo is old as dirt, but in fairness he has had a horrible run of luck. In his career in general, but especially over the last however many years he’s just been on the shelf waiting. Whatever you think of the trinket, for him it’s a payday to retire with. He got screwed against Chagaev Years ago, won a court decision to get another shot, and since then has had what, 3, 4 guys fail drug tests?
This should definitely be a mismatch, but if it weren’t for Miller having just fought Adamek, it wouldn’t look as bad on him. It’s a way to gain a trinket and have a bargaining chip, and as was said at least stay busy. The fight itself is shit, but you can’t blame either guy that much for taking it, is I guess my point.

How much of this is downto Miller and how much is his promoter and manager... Every time I see Miller talk he says he'll fight this guy or that guy... Hearn owns him just now so if he wants the fight v joshua he has to do what he's told...
